Cigar bars, like Safari Cigars, could be a thing of the past depending on how the Supreme Court rules, despite thousands of dollars and lots of time spent passing legislation to keep them open.

“We'll be out of business if they change that law, and I would have to think that that would open up the state of Nebraska to a lot of lawsuits and a lot of civil actions for all their exemptions. I mean, every state has exemptions to their laws,” said Jeff Doll, owner of Safari Cigars.

The bar is Doll’s retirement dream, which is now on the chopping block if District Court Judge Jodi Nelson gets her way. Nelson ruled Nebraska’s smoking ban exemptions unconstitutional last September.
